  • Resumes activity
    Berti (groin) has resumed hitting in the cage, defensive work and has begun a running progression, Meredith Marakovits of YES Network reports.

    Advice: A left groin strain has kept Berti on the injured list since last Saturday, though it appears the 34-year-old has made some solid progress in his recovery. The goal is for him to begin a rehab assignment sometime next week, though it's unclear how many games he will play in the minors before rejoining the active roster. Rotowire.com 29 minutes ago

  • Moves to 60-day IL
    The Rays transferred Walls (hip) to the 60-day injured list Saturday, Ryan Bass of Bally Sports Sun reports.

    Advice: Manager Kevin Cash said last weekend that Walls has not been recovering as quickly as the Rays had hoped for, and the infielder's move to the 60-day IL is further indication that he is not nearing a return soon. Walls is now eligible to return from the IL beginning May 26, though it remains unclear whether he'll be ready to go by then or not. Erasmo Ramirez was selected from Triple-A Durham to fill the open spot on Tampa Bay's 40-man roster. Rotowire.com 39 minutes ago

  • Jon Berti getting close to starting rehab assignment
    Jon Berti (groin) is aiming to start a minor league rehab assignment next week.

    Advice: Berti landed on the injured list last weekend with a left groin strain and is presumably getting close to getting back into minor league games. The versatile 34-year-old figures to fill a valuable multi-position utility role for New York once he’s back. Rotoworld 41 minutes ago

  • Doubles twice in win
    Hoerner went 2-for-5 with two doubles, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Hoerner paced the way as the leadoff hitter, and after a slow start to the season, he's now batting a robust .361 over his last 10 games. The infielder has batted .280 or better in each of the last three years, and he should be able to reach that mark again in 2024, particularly if he keeps up his recent level of performance.

  • Reaches three times Friday
    Swanson went 2-for-3 with a walk, a double, an RBI and two runs scored in Friday's 8-3 win over the Marlins.

    Advice: Swanson extended his hitting streak to three games, which has helped push his season average up to .254. That's in line with the .244 mark he posted last year, though he batted .277 in his last season in Atlanta back in 2022, so there is room for growth. The shortstop also only has two home runs so far, but he's posted 20 or more long balls in three straight seasons and should find his power stroke soon. Rotowire.com 47 minutes ago
     
  • Rays transfer Taylor Walls to 60-day IL
    Rays transferred INF Taylor Walls to the 60-day injured list.

    Advice: The procedural move opens up a spot on Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster for veteran swingman Erasmo Ramírez and will keep Walls on the shelf until at least late May as he recovers from a right hip impingement. Rotoworld 49 minutes ago

  • Productive in Friday's win
    Rafaela went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI and a stolen base in Friday's 8-1 win over the Pirates.

    Advice: The 23-year-old got the start at shortstop and committed an error in the opening frame that nearly led to a Pittsburgh run, but Rafaela quickly atoned with an RBI fielder's choice in the second inning and a solo shot off Roansy Contreras in the sixth. The long ball was his first of the season while the steal was his second, but his .167/.208/.303 slash line and 3:19 K:BB through 21 games remain disappointing. Rafaela remains a near-everyday player for the Red Sox, but he could get squeezed for playing time on the infield when Vaughn Grissom (hamstring) comes off the IL. Rotowire.com Today, 6:36 am
     
  • Belts third homer
    Freeman went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and scored twice during a 10-2 victory over Oakland on Friday.

    Advice: Freeman's home run wasn't exactly a towering blast, as it only traveled a projected 331 feet, but it was enough to give Cleveland the lead in the second inning. The 24-year-old infielder has been struggling at the plate to begin the season; however, he is now 5-for-12 with two homers, three RBI and five runs scored across his last three games.

  • Orelvis Martinez crushes two homers Friday at AAA
    Blue Jays INF prospect Orelvis Martinez launched two homers on Friday for Triple-A Buffalo.

    Advice: Martinez has been on a heater over the last few days, going deep in three consecutive contests, and is up to five round-trippers in his last five games since April 14. The former top prospect’s star has faded in recent years, but he’s still just 22 years old, and appears to be on the precipice of arriving in the majors, especially if he keeps tearing the cover off the ball.
